Urogenital mycoplasmosis is infectious inflammatory disease of the urinary tract caused by Mycoplasma exclusively. Pathogens of mycoplasma and ureaplasma are related to their biological rare uniqueness. Mycoplasma and ureaplasma has very small size of genome and lack a rigid cell wall. They are able to enter host cell membrane and multiply in it. This protects them from cellular and humoral immune reaction. This unique feature is the reason why the infection is often mysterious and asymptomatic. The dangerous difficulty of the ureaplasma and mycoplasma infection of the urinary tract leads to infertility, chronic endometritis, pregnancy without growing, fetal anomalies, primary and secondary placental shortage. Therefore, it is necessary to determine diagnostic approach and to study the extent the influence eproduction and the prevalence of causative agent.We analyzed the objects which derived from women with the pathogen for the period beginning from January 2014 up until January 2015 collaborating with “Oncogenic” laboratory at the National Center for Research on Cancer based on the women clinic “UilsButemj”. Total of 43 women who diagnosed to have key cells by vaginal smear test were included in the PCR analysis. Total of 12 healthy women who does not have obstetric chronic anamnesis were selected to be included in the analysis by creating control group. The study was done by the prospective case study model. IBM SPSS 20.0 software was used to process the results of the study. 43 women who were involved in the analysis were chosen by the following criteria: 1.With genitourinary complaints, 2.With positive key cells of the vaginal smear test.The average life expectancy of the women surveyed was 31,4±5,6. (min 22, max 53). The majority or 92.7% obtained high education and 7.3% have secondary education. For marital status, 74.5% have their own families and 25.5% of the total women involved were single. There were 15 infertile women or 34.8%, 11 miscarriage women or 25.5% and 12 women with pregnancy without growing or 27.9%, 4 women diagnosed to be pregnant outside of the uterus or 9.3%. The infection combined with U parvum and M hominis which cause pathogen accounted for 40% among total infertile women. The more combined the infection the more virulent. The following originators were detected by the PCR analysis which was run among the total of 43 women with pathogen:U.parvum 32 women, or 74.4%, U.urealiticum 11, or 25.5%, M.hominis 24, or 55.8%, M. Genitalis 4, or 9.3%, Gardnerella 31, or 72.9%, were detected respectively in single or co-discovered way and the majority of them are U.parvum and Gardnerella originators. 10 women, or 83.3%, with U.parvum, 3 women, or 25% with U.urealiticum, 4 women, or 33.3% with M.hominis, 1 woman or 8.3% with M. Genitalis and 7 women, or 41.6% with Gardnerella were detected respectively by the PCR analysis which was done in healthy women without any obstetiic chronic memory. Therefore, types of ureaplasma and mycoplasma is infected to human body as situational pathogen creator and those situational pathogen creators lead to difficulty by creating pathogen in case they shifts to the pathogen creator form. The fact that there were 15 infertile women or 34.8%, 11 miscarried women or 25.5%, 12 pregnant women without growing or 27.9%, 4 pregnant women outside of vagina or 9.3% shows that these pathogen creators are the factor for further difficulty.

IntroductionRheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is chronic systemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that still remains a disease of unknown etiology and complex disease without a single treatment that is dominated by serious and debilitating sequalae resulting from synovial membrane, cartilage and progressive joint destruction involvement. There is a one major obstacle in elucidating the early events in the pathogenesis of RA has been the lack of definition of the initial features of the disease. To overcome these difficulties, various animal models have been developed. But Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA) mouse model is known to be the most valuable animal model to explore the pathogenic process, molecular and cellular mechanisms of joint destruction, to discover the immune system respond and activation and to develop new effective treatment methods and useful drugs [1].Materials and Methods:Within this study we have used 40 male mice at age 6-8 weeksfor 0-60 days and divided into following 4 groups which are:I group–CIA induced mouse group treated with Derveger Jirgeruu (Saposhnicovia divaricata) (n=12) II group–CIA induced mouse group treated with Natriisalicylas (10%) (n=12) III group–Healthy control mouse group (n=8) IV group–CIA inducedcontrol mouse group (n=8). To induce CIA model, we have used standard method of Murali /2005/’s design. Standard drug Natriisalicylas (10mg/ 20gr), one of the often used drug anti-inflammatory and Mongolian herbal plant Derveger jirgeruu (Saposhnicovia divaricate) (0.26mg/20gr) were daily administered by orally, starting on day 21 until day 60.To evaluate and compare 2 drug’s anti-inflammatory effect, we have done clinical score evaluation (Kim W.U, 2002), laboratory testing and histological examination of the joints using standard methods.ResultTo summarize the research result, both medications have proven to be as a medication which has anti-inflammatory effect that decreased the signs and symptoms of RA by it is histological and laboratory analysis.Conclusions:1. CIA model was effectively induced, which have proven by clinical signs, laboratory result and histological examination.2. Within this study it has proven that traditional herbal medicine Derveger Jirgeruu (Saposhnicovia divaricate) (0.26mg/20g) have anti-inflammatory effect on CIA induced mouse model of Rheumatoid Arthritis, which have had similar effect asstandard non-steroid medicine Natriisalicylas (10mg/20g).

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;88(4):135-138
Background:
In recent years, work-life balance has become a pressing issue for healthcare workers in many developing
countries around the world. An imbalance between work and personal life leads to psychological stress, health problems,
loss of self-confidence, job dissatisfaction, and decreased work productivity due to an inability to concentrate. It also
results in a decline in the quality of treatment and services. Furthermore, it increases the risk of medical errors and contributes to both physical and mental burnout, ultimately leading to resignation.
Aim:
The study analyzed the work-life balance and turnover intentions of employees at family health centers.
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted using a cross-sectional model and a quantitative survey method. The
work-life balance of employees at Family Health Centers was examined using the work-life balance assessment question
naire developed by Hayman (2005), and turnover intentions were assessed using the standard questionnaire developed
by Auerbach et al. (2014). The research was carried out in 2024. The study included 123 employees from 22 Family
Health Centers located in the Bayangol, Bayanzurkh, Sukhbaatar, Songinokhairkhan, Khan-Uul, and Chingeltei districts
of Ulaanbaatar.
Results:
Of the participants, 95.1% were female, with an average age of 35.2±9.5. Among them, 55.3% were doctors,
29.3% were nurses, 9.8% were health social workers, and 5.7% were other non-medical staff. The income of Family
Health Center employees was found to be insufficient; 8.9% had incomes below the minimum subsistence level, and their
ability to meet basic household needs was very limited. The results show that participants’ work negatively impacted
their personal life (WIPL–23.5), and personal life negatively affected their work (PLIW–15), both of which scored high.
Meanwhile, the positive interaction between work and personal life (WPLE–10.7) was low, indicating a disruption in
their work-life balance. Working overtime was statistically significant in relation to work-life imbalance (p=0.038). As
age and years worked at the current organization increased, the negative impact of work on personal life and personal life
on work tended to decrease.
Conclusion
The work-life balance of Family Health Center employees has been disrupted. The level of work negatively
affecting personal life and personal life negatively affecting work is high. 65% of Family Health Center employees are
considering leaving their current organization, and 41% are considering leaving the healthcare field.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;87(3):97-102
Background:
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a congenital anomaly that accounts
for approximately 65% of all craniofacial malformations. In Mongolia, the prevalence
of CLP is estimated at 0.93 to 1 per 1,000 live births, which is comparable
to the global average but slightly higher than the average reported among
Asian countries. The incidence is observed to be twice as common in males
compared to females.
Diagnosis:
The patient is a 15-year-old male with a
history of congenital unilateral cleft lip and palate. He underwent primary surgical
repair of the cleft at the age of 9. As of May 2022, clinical examination revealed
maxillary hypoplasia, anterior crowding, and a combination of bilateral
posterior and anterior crossbite. Cephalometric analysis demonstrated a skeletal
Class III malocclusion with midfacial deficiency.
Treatment:
Orthodontic
treatment was initiated in October 2022 using a non-removable, self-ligating
bracket system (MBT 0.022” slot, stainless steel). In the first month, CuNiTi
0.014 archwires were placed, and cross elastics were applied from the maxillary
to mandibular canines on the left side for two months. On December 10,
2022, CuNiTi 0.014×0.025 archwires were placed in both arches, accompanied
by coil springs to open space. Subsequent phases involved transitioning
to stainless steel (SS) and titanium-molybdenum alloy (TMA) archwires for
alignment and leveling.
Treatment Outcome:
At the end of treatment, a Class
I molar and canine relationship was achieved. The axial inclinations of the
upper and lower incisors reached normative values based on lateral cephalometric
analysis. The maxillary arch form was expanded and improved to a
more ideal rounded contour. Dental crowding was resolved without extraction,
and both transverse and sagittal occlusal relationships were significantly improved.
Conclusion
This clinical case demonstrates that fixed orthodontic
treatment in a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate can effectively correct
dental crowding, normalize occlusal relationships, and significantly improve
facial esthetics, phonetics, and overall quality of life. Orthodontic intervention
played a vital role in restoring function and supporting psychosocial and physical
development.

Mongolian Journal of Health Sciences 2025;87(3):116-122
Background:
Children with developmental disabilities benefit from
support in motor skills, sensory processing, cognitive development, and
social skills. Mongolia has trained occupational therapists for a decade,
with 37% specializing in pediatrics, but long-term therapy facilities remain
limited.
Aim:
This study provides a case report on a child with
developmental disabilities who received occupational therapy to evaluate
improvements in sensory processing, social communication, and
daily living skills.
Materials and Methods:
The study participants were
purposively selected from children undergoing occupational therapy at
the “Enerel” Child Development Center. Participant A is a 16-year-old
male with hearing and speech impairments, as well as an intellectual
disability. The initial assessment showed poor sensory processing and
behavioral problems and communication difficulties. A tailored program
incorporating sensory-based therapies, communication cards, and sign
language was developed with caregiver collaboration. Occupational
therapy was conducted five times weekly for 11 weeks. Pre and post
test assessments included goal attainment scaling (GAS) and Sensory
profile 2 (Child).
Results:
The participant showed improved communication
using cards and sign language, better emotional regulation,
enhanced sensory processing, and reduced hyperactivity to external
stimuli. Goal Achievement (GAS) +2, meaning the goal was achieved
better than expected and positive changes were found on the Sensory
profile 2, with large effect sizes.
Conclusion
The study found that sensory-
based occupational therapy and sign language training improved
occupational performance and goal achievement in children with sensory,
behavioral, and communication difficulties.

Background:
To determine the visual and anatomical outcomes after rhegmatogenous retinal
detachment surgery.
Methods:
Case files of patients who had surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment at the
3rd state central hospital May 2019 and May 2021 were reviewed. Information obtained included
age, sex, presenting and post-operative visual acuity, anatomical reattachment, post- operative
complications and causes of treatment failure.
Results:
Risk factors for retinal detachment included myopia in 8 eyes (32%), trauma in 7 eyes
(28%), prior cataract surgery in 2 eyes (8%). 22 eyes (88%) presented with macula off while 3 eyes
(12%) presented with macula partly or completely attached. Visual acuity at presentation was
<0.01 in 15 eyes (60%). Following surgery, retina was attached in 23 eyes (92%) and remained
detached 2 eyes (8%). Visual acuity after surgery was 0.1< 17 eyes, 0.4< 7 eyes. Visual acuity
improved in 23 eyes (84%), remained the same in 2 eyes (8%).
Conclusion
Myopia and trauma are important risk factors for Rhegmatogenous Retinal
Detachment. Majority of patients in this setting presented late with Rhegmatogenous Retinal
Detachment and this was responsible for relatively poor visual outcomes despite good anatomical
results after surgery. Proper screening of eyes at risk and education of patients is important for
preventing visual loss due to retinal detachment.

Objectives: To study of the effects on traditional drug Sendeng 4 for papain-induced osteoarthritis in rats. Methods: The rats were divided into three equal groups in number and were sacrificed under high-dose ether anesthesia after one, two, and four weeks of the last papain injection, respectively. Osteoarthritis was experimented in Wistar rats. Total 21 rats were injecting an admixture of 4% papain and its activator 0.03 M cycteine into the right knee joints on the first, fourth, and seventh days. The same volume of sterile saline solution was injected into the left knees as controls. Result. Pre sacrifice, measured with the artritis scoring evalution and X ray analysis, after cartilage from femorel condyles and tibial plateaus was macroscopically and histophatologically evaluated. The artritis scoring evalution were significantly lower at Sendeng 4 groups (2.2±0.16) compared to the control (3.7±0.25) groups. (p

Background:
Organ transplantation has been rapidly advancing in Mongolia in recent years. The number of successful
kidney, liver, and bone marrow transplants performed in national central hospitals has been increasing annually. While the
number of successful kidney transplants is increasing, post-transplant immune monitoring remains insufficiently studied.
Aim:
To assess post-transplant immune status by analyzing inflammatory cytokine levels in kidney transplant recipients
Materials and Methods:
A prospective cohort study was conducted at the First Central Hospital of Mongolia. Serum
samples from kidney transplant recipients were analyzed using flow cytometry to measure the levels of 13 inflammatory
cytokines, including TGF-β1, PAI-1, sTREM-1, PTX3, sCD40L, sCD25 (IL-2Ra), CXCL12 (SDF-1), sST2, sTNF-RI,
sTNF-RII, sRAGE, CX3CL1 (Fractalkine), and sCD130 (gp130). Statistical analysis was performed to assess the results.
Results:
The mean creatinine level significantly decreased on post-transplant days 7 and 30 compared to pre-transplant
levels (p<0.001, ANOVA). No statistically significant difference was found in the 13 cytokine levels between the high
risk and low-risk groups based on creatinine levels on post-transplant day 30 (p>0.05). However, the levels of TGF-β1,
CX3CL1, sTREM-1, and sTNF-RI showed statistically significant differences between post-transplant days 7 and 30
(p<0.05). No significant correlation was found between the measured cytokine levels and CRP (p > 0.05). On post-transplant day 7, sTREM-1 had a weak correlation with TGF-β1 (r=0.40, p=0.02) and sTNF-RI (r=0.36, p=0.05) but showed a
strong correlation with CX3CL1 (r=0.65, p=0.0001). On post-transplant day 30, sTREM-1 remained strongly correlated
with CX3CL1 (r=0.73, p=0.0001) and moderately correlated with sTNF-RI and TGF-β1 (r=0.45, p=0.01).
Conclusions
1. The levels of TGF-β1, CX3CL1, sTREM-1, and sTNF-RI significantly varied between post-transplant days 7 and
30 (p< 0.05, T-test).
2. On post-transplant day 30, these cytokines were not correlated with CRP but were interrelated among themselves.
